Methadone Clients Only - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Hutsonville, IL.

Methadone is a prescription medication which like heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neural receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted people so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, facilities that treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these individuals daily. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.

Programs which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad array of comprehensive recovery services beyond daily dosing, although some clinics may offer individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused by opioid dependent individuals. Seeking further treatment services in Hutsonville is suggested, including counseling, therapy and cognitive behavioral therapies which are effective in long term recovery and preventing relapses.
